Most likely from 1978 a menu from the American Egg House. The restaurant was located on Main Street at the old Maxwell House/Hills Brothers Coffee House location. A favorite spot of many guests for breakfast, but also serving lunch and dinner. The restaurant was open from July 14, 1978 and closed on September 30, 1983. The site then became the Town Square Cafe. (Thanks to Jason's Almanac.)

ReplyDeleteAs a 50 year old, the menu now looks delicious, but I was a teenager when this menu was new, and eggs, prunes, and phenolax were all for the old folks, so the once or twice I did eat here, it was under protest.
ReplyDeleteI ate here often and found it excellent.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted this because yesterday I thought I was losing my mind. I have always referred to that location as the Egg House and now you have confirmed it! Yesterday when you said the place closed in 1976, I thought you meant COMPLETELY closed as in there's nothing there just like it is now. So as I continue to ramble on...YES! I have fond memories of the Egg House, LOL!
ReplyDeleteApparently, I AM losing my mind. Somebody posted a picture yesterday...can't seem to remember who!
